    Yes, it is the general idea and the quality of learning may or may not be there . . . what are their potential topics? Why would anyone send $100 before understanding what the options are for learning with others? Perhaps he has established credibility elsewhere that would warrant others to sign up.

    article by Tim Wu in NYT weekly magazine, June 3, 2014 in Culture. Maintaining your brand The euphemism is "sharing," but Klein would probably just call it selling a personal brand, whether you consider yourself the pretty young thing with literary tastes and a traditional side, the family man who brews his own beer or the tough lawyer with a sense of humor. It can be nice to share, but brand maintenance takes constant work and demands consistency. A serious self-brand should have some presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Foursquare, Google+ and Tumblr; keeping it all up can feel like working as an unpaid intern for a Z-list celebrity known as Oneself. excerpt Any old-timer will tell you that anonymity online is nothing new, but how things originally were. There has, of course, always been an anonymous culture, usually tied to deviancy or dissidents. In the '80s and '90s, anonymity was indelibly linked to online culture, concurrent with getting at stuff that was otherwise hard to find or illegal. It was kind of the point really, to go where, as one early adopter wrote, "no one knows you're a dog." It allowed users to escape to a place with few restrictions, where you could say things, and maybe do things wholly without social consequence. In the early days, there was no need for any consistency with the rest of your life, and that's what was so great about it.

  • Increasingly, they judge our character.
  • Upstart has over the last 15 months lent $135 million to people with mostly negligible credit ratings. Typically, they are recent graduates without mortgages, car payments or credit card settlements.
  • ZestFinance, is a former Google executive whose company writes loans to subprime borrowers through nonstandard data signals.

  • someone has ever given up a prepaid wireless phone number. Where housing is often uncertain, those numbers are a more reliable way to find you than addresses; giving one up may indicate you are willing (or have been forced) to disappear from family or potential employers. That is a bad sign.
  • Character (though it is usually called something more neutral-sounding) is now judged by many other algorithms. Workday, a company offering cloud-based personnel software, has released a product that looks at 45 employee performance factors, including how long a person has held a position and how well the person has done. It predicts whether a person is likely to quit and suggests appropriate things, like a new job or a transfer, that could make this kind of person stay.
  • characterize managers as “rainmakers” or “terminators,”
  • “Algorithms aren’t subjective,” he said. “Bias comes from people.”
  • Algorithms are written by human beings. Even if the facts aren’t biased, design can be, and we could end up with a flawed belief that math is always truth.

  • Data crunching has grown so sophisticated and powerful, privacy researchers now warn that tracing identities from a pool of supposedly "anonymized" data is not just a possibility, it's a certainty.
  • "It is depressingly hard to try to anonymize data in a way that resists identification by a committed adversary," Arvind Narayanan, a privacy researcher at Princeton University, told NBC News.
  • such as the DuckDuckGo search engine, whose motto is "We don't track you" — gain popularity, an incentive would arise.

  • Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook and Yahoo aren't likely to make changes to the way they collect or share data overnight. Some online tools politely request third-party trackers to stop, but such requests are like a "gentleman's anonymity based on a handshake," Ford said. Of course, if you're signed into a service like Facebook that asks for your real name up front, you've already checked anonymity at the door.

  • Teachers should focus on students' efforts and not on their abilities. When students succeed, teachers should praise their efforts or their strategies, not their intelligence. (
  • When students fail, teachers should also give feedback about effort or strategies -- what the student did wrong and what he or she could do now.
  • teachers should help students value effort.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • teach students to relish a challenge
  • keeping a balance between valuing learning and performance.
  • (a) valuing learning and challenge and (b) valuing grades but seeing them as merely an index of your current performance, not a sign of your intelligence or worth.
  • Work harder, avail yourself of more learning opportunities, learn how to study better, ask the teacher for more help, and so on.
  • They are very performance-oriented during a game or match. However, they do not see a negative outcome as reflecting their underlying skills or potential to learn. Moreover, in between games they are very learning-oriented. They review tapes of their past game, trying to learn from their mistakes, they talk to their coaches about how to improve, and they work ceaselessly on new skills.
  • Teaching students to value hard work, learning, and challenges; teaching them how to cope with disappointing performance by planning for new strategies and more effort; and providing them with the study skills that will put them more in charge of their own learning.
  • there is no relation between a history of success and seeking or coping with challenges.
  • praising students' effort had many positive effects.
  • We should praise the process (the effort, the strategies, the ideas, what went into the work), not the person.
  • By motivation, I mean not only the desire to achieve but also the love of learning, the love of challenge, and the ability to thrive on obstacles.

  • According to the data, students exposed to lecture more than other classroom activities showed more significant learning gains than their peers
  • Burgan points out that “being clueless in a discussion class is much more embarrassing and destructive of a student’s self confidence than struggling to understand in the anonymity of a lecture.” As a college student, I was often advised by well-meaning adults to sign-up for seminars rather than lectures in order to get “face time.” To be perfectly honest, though, the lecture format, far more than the noisy seminar, enabled me to think deeply about a topic rather than being distracted by poorly planned and redundant comments from peers (often aggravated by a teacher who is reluctant, for fear of being too top-down in terms of pedagogy, to deflect them).
  • They are delivered on engaging topics, by engaging people, and they offer time for reflection by the audience. Ever since Susan Cain delivered her 2012 TED talk “The Power of Introverts,”
